Below is a copy of a Public Information Request made to the City of Austin for records relating to Rick Perry's alleged shooting of a coyote in West Austin earlier this spring. It begins with some background information prior to the request items which is great read, including some points that never in the history of Austin have there been reports cases of circumstances that led to Rick Perry's claims.
I'm not saying Rick Perry lied about the events involving his heroic defense of a puppy on a hiking trail; I'm just equally curious as to how a Governor of Texas happened to be a historical first in an event that was politically advantageous to him.
